The only time we were headed to Tom Sawyer's (actually in West Memphis, Ar), we found ourselves driving through a seedy area, apparently getting seedier as we got closer. Half a mile or so from the RV park, we decided to turn around. Everyone I've talked to since then have told me we should have kept going, and would have been rewarded with a great RV park in a great location.

Tom- You need to stop here. Next time follow the directions on their website. You avoid the seedy area that way.

It is a nice park. However, their website does not tell you how to avoid the freight trains that frequently block traffic for long periods. Also, springtime can be a problem when the river gets to romping. Their office and other small building are all portable so they can move them to high ground when necessary.

Personally, I did not have any safety concerns during the drive to Tom Sawyers RV Park or while we were there. There is nothing else around the RV Park except fields and a mighty big river. Again, I followed the directions given on their website.

The biggest problem with Tom Sawyer's RV Park is getting across the RR tracks. Freight trains do a lot of "delaying" there. Luckily, after sitting for close to an hour waiting on a freight train to clear the crossing, a local in a pickup showed me another way around...waaay around. The park's location would require crossing those busy (read "blocked") tracks to drive across the river to Memphis. It's a nice park, but pretty inconvenient unless you just wish to watch the river barge traffic.
